Dogs of Mexico

If I could hold you, I’d hold ya so tight
I’d give up my bed just to watch you sleep tonight
Hold my breath to hear your heartbeat
Louder than the barking of the dogs of Mexico
You’re so far but I feel ya near me
Living inside like a robin in an oak tree
Robbing from the rich to give to the poor
There ain’t nothing in this world that I care for more
I got caught up in the in between
Picking apart your words
When I know just what you mean
I got distracted with the gratitude
Thanking everyone around me
When all I needed was to thank you
If I could hold you, I’d hold ya so tight
Wrapped in a cocoon, washed in the moonlight
Moving parts as the stars move across the sky
Furiously becoming one, once again
You’re half a world away but in the bed next to me
When I close my eyes, I melt into your body
No longer cold, no longer lonely
Just me and you and the dogs of Mexico
Can ya hear them howlin' for you?
Can ya hear them howlin' for you?
